This is not a end all list. There are a few intentionally left off because I don't know jack about them. If you want to add, go for it, if you want me to add in my post, PM me the info.

I'm linking pics to some of the more rare matrices, but not sure how long I'll be able to host them for, we'll see how much bandwidth gets used up. I've also given proper credit to the site I found the image on. The data has been gathered over the last 2 years, and I in no way claim it to be 100% free of errors. Only thing I ask is let me know if something is wrong and I'll be happy to edit the post.

Ironmen Matrix

-aced – Gen-e eyes
-custom milled with ironmen logo
-price tag: $1300-$1400
-Comments: One of the few and the first LCD matrices in a 45 frame with eye logic controls, the left air chamber has been milled off, completely, to lighten it up. Grip frame is moved slightly forward compared to stock matrices. Custom 2 piece breach. The only colors these were made in was black with red accents, to my knowledge.photo courtesy of Paintcheck.com

Tequila Matrix/Tequila Sunrise Matrixwww.aardvarkdirect.com
-LED board
-Aardvark red Bolt kit
-Trinity lpr
-not aced

-price tag of around $1200
-Comments: Tequilas, Tequila sunrises, and entities all came in waves. There were about 15 tequilas produced, 50 or so Sunrises produced and 17 entity trixes produced. The signature milling is the partially exposed bolt with a lexan window cover and the aardvark milled onto the side. Sunrises also had a sunset milled in (I think they all did). The manifold is higher flowing, and the grip frame is aardvark custom version, came with the alligator trigger.photo courtesy of checkpaint.com

Aardvark Entity Matrixwww.aardvarkdirect.com
-LCD board
-aardvark red bolt kit
-trinity lpr
-not aced
-very custom milling with an octopus and the ironmen logo, and an aardvark milled in. Same bolt exposure and lexan window as the tequila
-price tag was around $1500 new, but they were only made for the SC ironmen
-comments: very sought after matrix, each one was anno’d differently in essence making all 17 a 1 of a kind. Very similar to the tequila save for LCD. Tentacle trigger included.photo courtesy of matrixowner.com

-board unknown
-image bolt kit
-pbc lpr
-ace unknown
-milling is their primary custom feature
-price varies
-comments: you send your matrix to demon for some custom milling. They can do any type of milling you want, they’ll mill off the dead air chamber in your matrix, mill in text, logos, etc. Not too much on them out there.Image courtesy of matrixowner.com

-LCD board
-Dye bolt kit
-Dye Rocket lpr
-aced – Dye system

Gen-E came out with the original matrices, such as the LED and slideswitch models. Nothing bad about them, they're just some of the originals.

Demon is an intersting alternative for those who truly want a custom matrix. I'm talking to them now about having my led milled with a 1 of a kind design and anno'd in a color never before seen on a 'trix. I'll let you all know if it comes through.

i know this is an old post but i was wondering if i bought a led matrix the only differnce i would have to worry about compared to the lcd matrix in its performance is the solinoid and the bolt?

please let me know and if you can does these few little upgrades make much of a difference in the guns performance?
i have no idea what the differnce in the solinoid does

o yah and does the lcd shoot faster or anything?

actually, Airtech made the first matrix, which the prototype was actually fully mechanical...then went to electro when it was released to the public, in which Diablo then distributed the matrix, and after Diablo was when Gen-E stepped in.
